Arcoroc: Sierra Amber Ochre Bowl, Deep

Amber ochre salad bowl in the "Sierra" pattern by Arcoroc France.

This highly collectible serving piece is rendered in Arcoroc's famous translucent amber (ochre) hue, which beautifully catches the light to showcase a rich, glowing golden honey radiance.

The bowl features a masterful dual-textured finish — the interior is polished to a glass-smooth mirror shine for easy cleaning, while the deep exterior showcases a heavily structured, organic crackle or tree-bark relief texture.

Original Intended Use: Large-format commercial salad, mixing, or communal fruit serving bowl for elite 1970s continental bistros.

Alternate Suggested Use: A high-end floating floral or candle centrepiece bowl for an executive entryway, a luxurious fruit presentation piece on a marble kitchen island, or an illuminated shelf statement artwork display.
More Details

Unlike standard delicate art glass from the era, Arcoroc's Sierra collection was produced using a proprietary thermal tempering process.

This ultra-dense, toughened glass composition makes the bowl incredibly durable, shock-resistant, and significantly heavy for its size. The thick, rounded upper rim profiles emphasize its architectural weight, ensuring it retains a magnificent structural présence as a tabletop centre feature.

The amber composition offers pristine optical clarity that will not cloud or weather, cementing it as a timeless heirloom piece. 
Did you Know?

Did you know that the innovative Sierra line was launched by Arc International in northern France in the late 1960s specifically to endure the intense, high-impact handling of upscale European hotel dining rooms and catering bistros?

Because it was engineered to be up to five times stronger than standard porcelain, it became an instant sensation, quickly transitioning into luxury domestic households throughout the 1970s. 
Origin & Era

Made in France, 1970’s.
Dimensions

Approximate Dimensions: Height 12cm, Diameter 22cm, Heavy for its Size.
Vintage Condition

Exceptional structural integrity and stunning light dispersion.

The bowl has no chips, cracks, flea bites, or structural clouding anywhere along its main chassis. The smooth underside base ring shows minor, completely expected shelf-wear scuffing from decades of tabletop contact.

As a genuine pre-loved mid-century utility item, it also exhibits distinct, light surface scratching and utensil track lines distributed across the flat interior basin base from historical mixing and service use.

These are entirely superficial character marks from honest usage that do not compromise the glass integrity or the textured exterior presentation.
